Yesterday, Justin Bieber released a new single called "Friends," that's about being friends with an ex – or at least trying to be. And, unsurprisingly, fans are already speculating that the lyrics may be referencing his relationship with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.

But it's not just the fans who are abuzz. Publications like Entertainment Tonight and Elle have also been picking apart the lyrics and hypothesizing their possible meaning. For example, as they point out, the line in which he asks about her mom could reference the fact that back when Selena Gomez's mom was her manager, she set up their first meeting in 2009.

Naturally, this all has many Beliebers wondering if Justin is trying to make a statement to Selena.

But aside from the fact that Selena is currently happily coupled with The Weeknd, it should be noted that there's definitely a possibility that a song is just... a song. After all, trying to reconnect with your ex, or at least thinking about them, is a pretty universal theme, and one that could be applied to any of Justin's exes — not just Selena. So before we get too ahead of ourselves, maybe hit pause and just enjoy this song for what it is: a bop.
